One Of The Following Oils: Canola

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a cultivar of rapeseed, bred to have lower levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. It is processed using mechanical pressing and/or solvent extraction to yield the oil.

Canola oil is a popular cooking oil used in a wide variety of foods due to its neutral flavor and high smoke point. It is often used for frying, baking, and in salad dressings and marinades. Manufacturers add it as a source of fat and to improve texture and mouthfeel.

Canola oil is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. JECFA has evaluated canola oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Research on its health effects is ongoing, with some studies suggesting benefits for heart health, while others raise questions about inflammation, though evidence is mixed.
